A SCIENTIFIC FACT.
Royal" the only Baking Powder Free
from Lime and Absolutely Pure.

Lime is the serious defect found in most
of the cream tartar baking powders. AS a
matter of fact, chemical analysis has found it
in all such powders except the "Royal." Its
presence is caused by the use of adulterated
cream of tartar in the effort to reduce their
cost of production.
Lime adds to the weight, while it detracts
from the strength of the baking powder. 1t
also renders the food less wholesome, giving
rise to dyspepsia and kindred ailments. Ba-
king powders containing lime produce less
leavening gas, and therefore in use are more
expensive than a tirst-class, pure article.
The Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar that is specially refined and
made chemically pure. No ~tartrate of lime
or other impurity can find its way into the
'Royal,' and to this fact it's great superiori-
ty in strength, wholesomeness and keeping
quality is due.
All this adds greatly to the cost of manu-
featuring the Royal Baking Powder, but as
all ingredients are selected and prepared with
the same precise care and regardless Of labor
or expense, an article is produced that is free
from every extraneons Observation-Disclosures
ly pure" Nor does it contain any ingredi-
ents except those necessary to make a pure,
wholesome and perfect baking powder.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to
the United States Department of Agriculture,
after Analysing the cream of tartar used by
the various baking powders of the market,
reported as follows:
~ have examined the cream of tartar
manufactured for and used by the Royal Ba-
king Powder Company in their baking pow
der, and find it to be perfectly pure and free
from lime in any FORM"
Prof. Love, who made the analyses of ba-
king powders for the New York State Board
of Health, as we'll as for the Government,
%certifes to the purity and wholesomeness of
the Royal.
DR.. f. II. BARLEY, chemist of the Brook
Ign, New York, Department of Health, says:
81 have recently analysed samples Of the
Royal Baking Powder purchased by myself
in the stores of this city, and find 1t free from
lime in any FORM"
Rread, cake, biscuit, ETC., prepared with
Royal Baking Powder, will be lighter, sweet
err and more wholesome than if made with
any other baking powder or leavening agent.

ano box style, which has become the most

celebrated Brewster Side-bar Oil tempered
springs, which are the most comfortable, anu,
therefore the most widely used side spring. 1t
is full leather trimmed with '"lazy back"
Savern patent wheels, steel tire, best steel fan
tail, double collar axles. 1t is painted q rich
black. The buggy is a good one and will give
satisfaction. Its worth $50 and is furnished TO

ished. The following pieces comprise the set {:

The Shot Gun is known as the "New Baker,"
and will be made under the direct supervision
of Mr.. W. H. BAKER, who has had much eXpe-
rience in the manufacture of shot guns. In
shooting and wearing qualities he guarantees
that it shall be equal to any gun made in this

the best English stub-twist, the rightmodified
choke and the left full choke, thus we'll adapt
ing the gun for shooting birds on the wing, or
SQUIRRELS. The barrels will be 80 inches in

ments, including extension rib, checkered pis-
toll grip stock, rubber butt-plate, low circular
snap-action and compensating fore end, which
takes up all wear in the hinge-joint, preventing
the gun from becoming loose and shaky. The

neatest looking gun of it's class ever before Of
fered to the public atthe price.

A BAD NASAL ORGAN.

For over four years | have been q great sufferer
from n terrible form of Nasal Catarh. | was greatly
annoyed with a constant roaring In my head and my
hearing became very much impaired.
The discharge from my nose was profuse and very
offensive, and my general health impaired. l tried
most all prominent physicians, but they did not cure
me, and ! used various advertised preparations with
out benefit.
Une day I CHANGED to read a remarkable article
written ly q prominent citizen of Athens, Georgia,
stating that he had been permanently cured by the
use of eight bottles Of b. d. B.-Botanic Blood Balm.
Being %skeptical Oh the subject, | wrote 10 him on the
subject and received a most encouraging answer to
the effect that he had been cured long enough 10 he
thoroughly satisfied that no return of the disease
would ensue.
then sent to the drug store of T. E. Smith & Bro,
and purchased B. B. g., and to my utter astonislI-
mrnt and satisfaction the use of ten bottles has re-
stored my general health, stopped the roaring sens;t-
ton, entirely healed and cured the nasal catarrh and
| am proud to commend a blood remedy with such
powerful curative properties.
| shall continue its use a little longer and feel con-
fdent that | will be entirely cured Of one of the most
obstinate cases of nasal catarrl in the county.
The business men of our town know of my case.

BIOGRAPHIES IN ERROR.-There used
to be a place called Patagonia. 1t appears
on our Biographies now as "a drear and
u%ninhabitable waste, upon which herds of
wild horses and cattle Craze, that are hunt
ed for their flesh by a few bands of savage
Indians of immense stature" I am quo
ting from a school book published in 1886,
and in common use in this country. The
same geography gives similar information
about "the Argentine Confederation" It
makes the Argentines roar with rage to
call their country ''the Argentine Confed.
Grafton" 1t would be just as polite and
proper to call this the "Confederate States
of America" A bitter, bloody wal was
fought to wipe that name off the map, but

twenty feet deep, and the water on one side
of it is all the time bubbling up like water
when it is boiling. On the opposite side

says it is great curiosity. This phenome-
